Tho Old Maid a Jewel.

The Baltimore american thus lifts its
nat to a much-abused lady:
1t is the habit of i~rriyerent scoflers
to speak of old maids in words of ridi-
Guile. They seem to think that they
remain unmarried because they were
obliged to, and that they were always
waiting for a chance to change their
names and to become firmly bound in
the bonds of matrimony.
That's o mistake, of course. There
Is no greater philosopher in the world
than the average old maid. She knows
: what life Is. She knows that the
golden means of easy-going existence
is the secret of comfort. In her own
quiet way she has II good time, and
when some folks are thinking how staid
1 unsentimental she is, her thoughts
drifting back to days full of
romance and picnics and balls and
moonlight walks. For, say what some
people may about the old maid, there
10 a werm corner in her heart for the
sentiment of hfe-sentiment all the
Purer because 1t has been chastened
BY years Of unselfishness.
We all know what an angel a nice
old maid Is about the house; how she
discourages disorder and keeps things
to rights, in spite of youthful careless
ness. She is the arbiter of disputes
and the dove of peace; the awe OF the
servants and the friend of everybody.
When there is a family contention as
to what kind of dress the daughter
shall have, or what kind of hat the boy
shall get, or what food shall be bought
for dinner, or what people shall be in
vited to tie reception, or what time
the baby shall be taken out to ride, or
anything else, it is the subdued, posi-
tive voice of the old maid that quells
the discussion and asserts the conclu-
sion Of all dissenting opinions.
She Is a jewel, is the old maid. May
heavens choicest blessings rest upon
her, and may some deserving bachelor
appreciate her worth and act accord
ingly.

A Good Idea,

When the United States mint was
first established. Mr. Spencer cut an
exact medallion of Mrs. Washington,
wife Of Gen Washington, and the first
few coins were struck with her por-
trait When Gen. Washington saw
them he was ~displeased, and requested
the figure to be removed. Mr.. Spencer
altered the features a little, and put a
cap upon its head, calling it the God
dess Of Liberty. The goddess has been
reproduced down TO the coinage of our
present deprecated silver dollar, the
head on which is a portrait of a young
woman in Philadelphia.
Would it not be well, now that the
century has almost elapsed. to begin
the second century with the head of
the first president on our coinage. and
to follow it, at regular intervals, with
the heads of other presidents, a legend
stating the dates of their services.
This would teach the names of the
presidents to future generations and
give them some idea of their features.
We have the heads of some of them
on our postage stamps; why not have
hem on our coins,-EOStOR Budqet.

Remember that sheep are close grazcrs
and ought not be turned on backward

Lampblack mixed with strong vinegar

Wire netting, two-inch mesh, is said

fencing poultry, and more easily az
ranged with less labor.
When brood SOW proves a good and

If new grape vines are wanted, lay the

buds start much. Rub off half the buds
and fill gradually with mould as the shoots

: It is claimed that more damage is done

as the gentlest of bulls is a treacherous

and made soft accordingly, in order tc

Quite Unsettled.

The Rev. John Quincy Adams Henry
of Portland, Ore, while in attendance on
the Baptist convention last week, related
an incident or two tending to illustrate
the unsettled state Of peoples minds in
the Far Northwest. Among the resi-
dents of Portland he found a family
with letter froma Boston church dating
back thirty-four years. When he asked
the lady Of the family why in the world
she had not some time in the course Of
those thirty-four years come in and
joined one of the Baptist churches in
Portland, her simple reply was: "Wen,
you see, sir, we haven't been quite GER

Fashion Notes.

Mauve and white striped alpaca is one
of the new dress materials.
Feather stitch is a favorite finish for
lingerie for the neck and sleeves.
Canary yellow is seen in combination
with a golden brown and is very stylish
and elegant.
GirdIes of silver are in Moorish designs
and are heavy and cumbersome, but very
fashionable.
The preference for figures and stripes
is shown in many of the new ribbons for
trimming hats and dresses.
White, tan color and yellow are the
favorite colors for hat trimmings for lit
tie girls-from six to ten years
There is a fancy now for trimming
wedding dresses with gold or silver net,
lace or beads, arranged with tiounces OF
white lace.
Old rose with light green is very styl
ish in head gear, and there are many diff

LESS Food Needed in Summer.

Growth and waste and repair go on in
a nearly uniform way the whole year
through, but the amount of food neCes-
~ary for these operations or purposes is
surprisingly small. The generation of
bodily heat requires a more variable
quantity of food. In winter, with the
temperature of the external air at zero,
the temperature Of the blood in healthy
persons is 1913 degrees; and when the
heats Of summer drive the mercury of the
thermometer near to or above that mark,
the blood still registers 9S.3 degrees.
The marvellous mechanism by which this
uniform blood temperature is maintained
at all seasons it is not necessary to con-
slider, but it must be evident to every
one that the force needed to raise the
temperature of the whole body to nearly
100 degrees in winter is no longer needed
in summer. The total amount of food
needed for repair, for growth, and for
heating, physiology teaches us IS much
less than is generally imagined, and it
impresses us with the truth of the great
surgeon Abernethy's saying, that zone
fourth of what We eat keeps us, the other
threefOurths we keep at the peril of our
lives" In winter we burn up the sur
plus food with limited amount of ex-
ira eXertion. In summer we get rid of
it literally at some extra risk to health
and, of course, to life. We cannot burn
up. Our vital furnaces are banked, and
we worry the most important working
organs with the extra eXertiOn of re-
moving what had better never have been
taken into the stomach.-PhUudeIphia
